We decided that today will probably be the last opportunity this year for a summer picnic. In readiness I am about to embark on a rare episode of baking - sausage rolls and mini quiches! Finger rolls will be filled with assorted meats and cheeses, a ham terrine left over from Christmas will be coming out of the freezer, little pots of nibbles from olives to black pudding will be assembled. Fresh strawberries, peaches and apples will do for dessert. Late morning everything will be loaded into the back of the Land Rover, along with dogs, boots, assorted balls, frizbees, towels and blankets, and we will head to lake/nature spot about ten miles north. Dawn has not yet broken, so I don't know what the weather is doing, but the forecast is for a sunny day with temperatures around 21 deg C - perfect!
